The Director of Player Safety
of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Raymond Bolduc, today
announced that Saint John Sea Dogs forward, Jonathan Huberdeau is
suspended for a total of 4 games. The suspension is described as
follows:

1 automatic game for having been the instigator of a fight during
the 5 last minutes of regulation time when the difference in score was 2
goals or more.

3 automatic games, following the application of rule 41, abuse
towards an official (category 3). The rule specifies that a player
cannot use physical force towards an official, solely for the purpose to
break free during or immediately following an altercation.

The usual practice of the League is to suspend the player for his 4
next team games, regardless of injury or participation in games played
outside the QMJHL such as in the National Hockey League or through
international competition.

The Director of Player Safety took this decision after having viewed
the video of the incident, considered the officials report, spoken to
the Sea Dogs organization and consulted with his senior advisor,
Sébastien Bordeleau.
